The Weight
I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past DEAD
I just need some place where I can lay my head
Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed
He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said.
Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free
Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me
I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide
Then I saw old Carmen and the devil walking side by side
I said, "Hey Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown"
She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around"
Chorus
Go down, Miss moses, ain't nothin you can say
It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on judgement day
Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee
He said, "Do me a favor, so, won't you stay and keep Annalee comapany"
Chorus
Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog
said, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog"
I said, "Wait a minute Chester-you know, I'm a peaceful man"
He said, "That's ok, boy, won't you feed him when you can"
Chorus
Get you cannonball, now to take me down the line
My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time
To get back to miss Fanny, you know she's the only one
Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone

Bounce Right Back
I was walking down the street
With my old friend luke
And the strangest thing we saw
There was a flash like dynamite
And we fell down to the floor
And as we looked up this weird dude stood
I guess he was standing about four feet five
With a nonchalance and a joie de vivre
His face was grinning from side to side
Chorus
Well he said button up and tighten your lip
Keep a check on what you say
Those crazy words you fling from your mouth
Are going to bounce back on you some day
Now several years pass
I thought nothing more
It was down to a nine to five grind
I was shuffling round to my old friends house
I had party on my mind
While chatting this chick
A guerilla muscled in
A brace of henchmen right behind
My blood boiled hard
Ill give you a piece of my mind
And this guy appeared by my side
Dont you know what he said
Chorus
I was walking down the street with my old friend luke
We were getting into a bit of a heavy scene
He say yes and I say no
He say what do you mean
I pulled my piece and he pulled his
We stared each other right in the eye
There was a flash like dynamite
And this guy appeared by our side

Deliver Us From Temptation
Freedom" this cry of all slaves will be heard
And the tyrants will feel the steal of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on the earth
Forever to be free from their load
Time has run out for all you tyrants on earth
Your slaves are heedin\' the call
Makin\' an end to all this terror and pain
An end to your lies and your law
Takin\' away all your gold and your money
\'cause dead men don\'t need it anymore
Much too long we felt the slash of your whips
So now you will feel or swords
Freedom the eternal cry will echo high in the sky
The day will come when all power has been broken
Your blood will flow down to the gates of hell
Satan will wait for your souls
Pray to your god he won\'t help you he\'s dead
He won\'t fool our minds and our soul... anymore

Freedom the cry of all slaves will be heard
The tyrants will now feel the steel of the sword
The chains will be broken by all slaves on earth

Heavy Load
Orbison/price
At times it seems too rough, things just drag me down
Its hard to find the strength to just one more round
When I need help, I know where to go
cos youre the best friend that I could ever know
Being taught the words from you .... from what is true
Someone to share the pain that Im going through
And its a heavy load that I bear and its a heavy crown that I wear
As I travel down this road, its a heavy load, its a heavy load
Its a heavy load that I bear and its a heavy crown that I wear
So help me one more time, its such an uphill climb
As I travel down this road, its a heavy load
Lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load
Lord its a heavy load, lord its a heavy load....

Come On Over
Get a life--get a grip
Get away somewhere, take a trip
Take a break--take control
Take advice from someone you know
Chorus:
Come on over---come on in
Pull up a seat--take a load off your feet
Come on over--come on in
You can unwind--take a load off your mind
Make a wish--make a move
Make up your mind--you can choose
When youre up--when youre down
When you need a laugh come around

Oh, oh, oh...
Be a winner--be a star
Be happy to be who you are
Gotta be yourself---gotta make a plan
Gotta go for it while you can

Like you're mine

Raised on an angel's wings

Like you're mine

Throughout the years of my life
I know nothing if not love

Goodbye Carmen
And her eyes are like skies that will rain
But theres work to be done, and she does not complain
Her children are so far away
I heard you crying, I heard you pray
Now you must go, and its so hard to say
Chorus:
Goodbye, carmen
Thank you for staying with us for a while [with your pretty smile]
And someday youll get home again
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or who knows when (it all depends)
Goodbye...
Were convinced our intentions are good
But we live in this world often misunderstood
Can you feel it? (uh-huh)
I can feel it (d-doh)
And no one seems to care much, and its so hard to say
(chorus)
Carmen...careful what you do, be careful what you see, carmen
We will always be with you
Turn around but shes lost in the sun
There was so much to say, but shes already gone, so
Thank you carmen, dont be afraid this is not the end,
So rest your head, I hope someday we will meet again.
Goodbye, carmen
Hasta manana or never again
But youre my friend carmen
Goodbye...goodbye...goodbye..........

Aint It A Shame
(graham russell)
Hit with the bug to run, you didnt go to college we can use you son
You look like the pride of your home town
But how can you hold out when your luck is down
(chorus)
Aint it a shame, aint it a shame, aint it a shame, aint it a shame.
Because Im too tired to run around
Meeting people from the wrong side of town
Looking for a place to live, Ive got no money nothing to give, listen
All you gotta do is look around for something thats new
Find a job thats stimulating, thats easy and Im still waiting
(chorus)
Ive stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
Ive stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day,
Ive stood in line and done my time
With nothin to do all day
Ive stood in line with all my friends
With nothin to say all day, nothin to say all day.
Got brains but got no drive
Moneys cheap, the roads are wide
All the good positions go too fast
I need a job I know will last
Ive got a job for you can you push that shovel can you swing that broom
Keep your head down and dont go slow
But dont forget to stop with the whistle.

Away in a manger, no cry for a bed
The little load jesus laid down his sweet head
The stars in the bright sky,look down where he lay
The little load jesus, asleep on the hay
The cattle are lowing, the baby awakes
But little load jesaus, no crying he makes
I love thee load jesus, look down from the sky
And stay by my side until morning is nigh
Be near me, load jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me I pray
Bless all the dear children in thy tender care
And take us to heaven, to live with thee there
And takes us to heaven, to live with thee there

Don't Let Her Get Away
(Vince Gill / Al Anderson)
There's nothin' like the feelin'
When you finally find someone
You're wastin' your time
Thinkin' the whole thing through
If you take her for granted
Man, it's gonna come undone
Don't wait another minute
'Cause she's in love with you.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Well, every gun town would love
To be in your shoes
They've never seen a woman
Ever look so fine
They're all waitin' for the chance
To walk all over you
Son I'd have to tell
I'd be the first in line.
Chorus:
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Don't let her get away.
Any fool can see you've got it made
A love like this don't come around everyday.

Shadows On Your Side
Shackled and raised for a shining crowd,
They want you to speak but the music is louder than -
All of their roar, with the heat of the planets core, but..
The shadows are on your side,
As soon as the lights go down.
In the darkest place you can find,
You belong to the hands of the night..
Promises made with a distant friend
Truth should be known it can only bend -
To a tune of its own, hey youll never hear that voice again.
Scandal in white on a tangled vine
With everybody to say that youre having the time of your life -
When your life is on the slide, but..
(chorus) (chorus)
-
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
(oh-ohh...oh-oh-oh)
Spinning a compass to choose your way
You can run, you can dive, you can stand and you can soar..
Whichever way you can be sure, that...

Miss You
Said Jermaine likes it... and I like it
You know I'm really missing you baby
You know I'm really missing you baby
You know I'm really missing you baby
Baby, baby I miss you
Longing for you every day and I reach for you every night
Baby, nothing's been the same since the day we said goodbye
And I can't go on like this for too long
Baby, baby I miss you
Boy I need you next to me and I'm hungering for your touch
Caught up in the memories and you're all I'm thinking of
'Cause I can't get past what we used to have
Baby, baby I miss you
Chorus:
I'm talking 'bout how I used to like it when you whispered to me
Tell me that you loved me and those beautiful things
Baby won't you come back 'cause I'm really in need
I'm lost in your love
And I don't know what to do with myself, I don't wanna be with nobody else
I just think about you, think about us
Think about how much I miss you
All I do is reminisce of the love that we used to share
Can't recover from your kiss because nothing else compares
Ain't no substitute when it comes to you
Baby, baby I miss you
Visions of us hand in hand come to me when I close my eyes
Baby, I don't understand how we let it all slip by
Tell me, can we try baby one more time
Baby, baby I miss you
Chorus
Remember when our eyes first met
I knew I'd never be the same again
Why can't it just be like it was?
Enough is enough, baby I miss your love
(Jada-muah)
Yo, I remember when I first kicked it to you
We hit it off well
Then I used to whisper to you
It was all swell
Said you came from a family with money
Me, I was fresh off the block, handling twenty's
When I smiled, was you open or what
Said you can't jusge a book by the cover till you open it up
Past hot, we was more like lavable
Used to chill and the smoke didn't bother you
Beauty of a rose, scent of a flower
Love when I tell her to get in the shower, hit it for hours
(Whoo!)
When I thought you was able to cope
That's when things fell apart, ma
Then it stagnated us both
And now the pain is killing you crazy
When all the time in your mind you knew I was feelin' you crazy
Well Kiss is official boo and I'ma come clean
You miss me, well I miss you too
Come on
Chorus
Baby I do
All those things that you said to me baby
And I don't know what to do with myself
Nobody else, baby
You
Boy I miss you
Oh, oh
Baby please come back
Nobody else
Baby, baby I miss you
All of those things that you said to me baby, baby
What can I do
I don't want nobody else
I just think about us

Last night she ran away
Left a letter by the telephone
She didnt take the time to say goodbye
He knows he has to find her
Find a way to make her come back home
She stretched her wings and learned to fly

Carmen, dont you care for me
Carmen
Carmen, dont you care
Carmen, dont you care for me
He calls but theres no answer
Operator, ring it one more time
He thinks of her and shuts his eyes
She wears the ring he gave her
Something magic, and it once was mine
Will she be thinking of him tonight?

I Miss You Like Crazy
Even though it's been so long
My love for you keeps going strong
I remember the things that we used to do
A kiss in the rain till the sun shine through
I tried to deny it but I'm still in love with you
CHORUS:
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
Ever since you went away
Every hour of every day
I miss you like crazy

No matter what I say or do
There's just no getting over you
I can see the love shining in your eyes
And there comes a such a sweet surprise
If seeing's believing it's worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now
CHORUS
I miss you like crazy
I miss you baby
Love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
Just one night
And we'll have that magic feeling like we used to do
Hold on tight and whatever comes our way we gonna make it through
It seems believing is worth the wait
So hold and tell me it's not too late
We're so good together, we starting forever now
CHORUS
And I miss you, I missed you
All the tender love you gave me
A feeling gets this strong
You know the real thing's come along
And I miss you
I miss you like crazy baby
Only your sweet love can save me
I miss you like crazy
A love like ours will never end
Just touch me and we're there again
I miss you like crazy
I miss you like crazy
No matter what I say or do
